United hears guest pastor
By Bonnie Gropp
Following a presentation of three
proposals for commercial card-
board pickup at the March 20 meet-
ing, Blyth council voted to accept
;he one from Chamney Sanitation.
The proposal from Chamneys is
for weekly pickup from each busi-
ness of corrugated and boxboard
cardboard at no cost to the village.
Don Carter had submitted a pro-
posal which involved the placing of
two bins in the village. These
would be emptied weekly at a cost
of $14 per bin.
Larry Rutledge, who had attend-
ed the last council meeting to dis-
cuss cardboard pickup also
submitted a written proposal. Mr.
Rutledge said he would pick up the
commercial cardboard at a cost of
24 cents per cubic foot on a weekly
basis or if the village delivered it,
would charge 14 cents a cubic foot.
"Unless he's (Chamney) is going
to pay us, I don't think we can do
much better," said Councillor Doug
Scrimgeour.
"There's .not a lot to think about
with that offer," agreed Councillor
Rob Lawrie.
Agriculture Is the only industry

• on average, two people get killed
every week
• people receive disabling injuries
every day
• preschoolers and senior citizens
are injured and killed
• children routinely work and play
on the worksitc
• the home is located at the

were a former reeve, five former
councillors and 21 former Blyth
business owners or their sons or
daughters.
The whole event last year was
organized by Donald Moffitt of
London, who also funded the entire
reunion, Mr. Manning said.
He added that at the conclusion
of last year's gathering, it was
agreed that a follow-up reunion
should be held before too many
years passed.
Mr. Manning said that interesting
plans are being made to bring to
Blyth possibly as many as 2,000
residents and former students of
"our old white schoolhouse."
Committees will be formed to
start the public relations work and
finding out the whereabouts of as
many of the students as possible.
"Let's all get behind this pro-
posed event," Mr. Manning said.
"Surely the residents of present day
Blyth will not have to have out-of-
town people arrange this 100 year
event."
Councillor Doug Scrimgeour

hope it goes well for them and we
